:00:06. > :00:10.And now, on BBC News it is time for Click.
:00:10. > :00:14.Another working day in the glamorous life of Click. Travel to
:00:14. > :00:20.work, travel to work, travel to work, still not at work. Travel to
:00:20. > :00:30.work - yes, I'm at work and just time for a spot of porridge and a
:00:30. > :00:43.
:00:43. > :00:47.nice sit down before it's time to This week, Click goes walkabout, to
:00:47. > :00:51.explore the phenomenon of lifelogging. How much of your life
:00:51. > :00:55.and your friends to you want everyone else to see? A view of the
:00:55. > :01:00.world like no other. We will bring you the secrets behind these
:01:00. > :01:04.amazing pictures. Openening the door to a smarter abode. We have
:01:04. > :01:08.the latest on the automated home. There's all that, plus the latest
:01:08. > :01:15.tech news and if you have ever thought your social life was a soap
:01:15. > :01:23.opera, we will show you how to turn your Facebook feed into a TV show
:01:23. > :01:31.in Webscape. Welcome to Click. I'm Spencer Kelly. The always on
:01:31. > :01:36.society - it is a future feared by those of us who prefer to keep our
:01:36. > :01:45.private lives secret. If the tremed of lifelogging catches on, there'll
:01:45. > :01:53.be more of us to see than any of us expected. Rich Ricci -- LJ Rich
:01:53. > :01:58.rich walked us through this. Unless you are naturally talented or
:01:58. > :02:07.practiced, memory is fleeting. Perhaps that is why we love to
:02:07. > :02:11.record our favourite moments for prosperity. This is my first ever
:02:11. > :02:16.photowalk. People here are preparing to take pictures of each
:02:16. > :02:21.other and everyone will share the photographs. You will not believe
:02:22. > :02:26.how many people are taking photographs of me right now. I am
:02:26. > :02:31.used to being on camera. It feels different knowing my picture could
:02:31. > :02:37.be taken all the time by anyone. Even though this is always the case
:02:37. > :02:42.in public spaces. So, why does it feel strange? My smartphone knows
:02:42. > :02:47.where I live. Facebook knows what I like and there's a whole host of
:02:47. > :02:51.pictures and statuss I'm happy to share online with people I don't
:02:51. > :02:56.know. There are those who have got
:02:56. > :03:03.further, sharing themselves, warts and all and I am not just talking
:03:03. > :03:07.about lover's tiffs online. These supersharers upload short films
:03:07. > :03:13.exploring how they have aged or the places they have visited and danced
:03:13. > :03:18.in. As well as some things the rest of us would keep private - that is
:03:18. > :03:23.Josh Harris, who a decade ago recorded his entire life for online
:03:23. > :03:29.viewers to see and comment on. Lifelogging or lifecasting has been
:03:29. > :03:34.around for a while. I don't want to be treated like that - ever. No!
:03:34. > :03:41.Life casting in the past involved doing this. What happens when we
:03:41. > :03:46.start doing this? With my fam ra projecting outwards it is record --
:03:46. > :03:53.camera projecting outward it is recording my point of view. That
:03:53. > :03:57.could become you. It is easier when it is hands free. Wearing Google's
:03:57. > :04:02.soon to be released specks and add a memory to your increasing
:04:02. > :04:08.collection. Don't freak out yet! Remember you probably take pictures
:04:09. > :04:14.tall time with others in them, like this lot and Trey Ratcliff, the
:04:14. > :04:19.fellow behind it is relaxed about this overexposure. We will take
:04:19. > :04:25.more photos and share more and more. That is how we communicate. It is
:04:25. > :04:29.unstoppable. In essence, why complain about it? Why not adapt
:04:29. > :04:34.your lifestyle to deal with it. The problem is not technology, because
:04:34. > :04:40.technology grows on its own. It is its own beast. The problem is
:04:40. > :04:50.probably our attitudes. lifelogging phenomenon is growing.
:04:50. > :04:50.
:04:50. > :04:55.These days it has some serious backing,. Memoto found this. Their
:04:55. > :05:03.start-up raised 11 times its target. The devise takes a photo every 30
:05:03. > :05:10.seconds. It is a tiny wearable camera where GPS built in. $280
:05:10. > :05:20.might seem steep, but it comes with Cloud software, which helps you
:05:20. > :05:22.
:05:22. > :05:32.organise those 2,000 daily picks. It shows the Zuma photos sorted
:05:32. > :05:33.
:05:33. > :05:42.into scenes. It shows what you have been up to in each location. It can
:05:42. > :05:45.be in different colours an everything. We have been focused in
:05:45. > :05:53.deciding the product and the service which is no intrusive and
:05:53. > :05:59.that is complying to both the users and the people around the user, in
:05:59. > :06:06.that sense it is designed like this. Pretty visible for people opposite
:06:06. > :06:10.to me. That person can ask me to take it off or what it is. It's not
:06:10. > :06:16.invisible, in the spy camera sense. We have been trying to implement
:06:16. > :06:20.that in the design. Yes, the notion of recording your
:06:20. > :06:27.view-point throws up an interesting side effect. If you are not in the
:06:27. > :06:37.picture, other people are. Not so good if you are camera-shy and
:06:37. > :06:39.
:06:39. > :06:42.mixing automatic facial recognition. We are recording aspects of our
:06:42. > :06:47.lives for each other. God knows what the next generation of
:06:47. > :06:55.historians will be able to do. They will be able to share data we have
:06:56. > :06:59.collected in lifelogging. We have seen people become more
:06:59. > :07:04.uncomfortable with too much information. That's the tensions we
:07:04. > :07:11.will see playing out over the next decade. Meanwhile, the photowalk is
:07:11. > :07:15.at an end. Batterys are empty and memory cards are full. Time to
:07:15. > :07:24.upload, post-produce and most importantly share the pictures.
:07:24. > :07:28.They are labelled with hashtags. People get tagged. There we go.
:07:28. > :07:32.Both social tagging and interest in devices like the camera shows that
:07:32. > :07:38.for some of us it's no longer enough to merely record our
:07:38. > :07:45.memories, we need to make sense of them and share them too.
:07:45. > :07:50.Tagging and organising our lives publicly makes for a powerful and
:07:50. > :07:54.searchable database ripe for plundering.
:07:54. > :08:00.Lifeloggings rise presents us with a decision to make - do we
:08:00. > :08:06.integrate it into our online life, or untag ourselves in an attempt to
:08:06. > :08:15.dampen our web presence, regardless, total digital recall has arrived. A
:08:15. > :08:18.stark contrast to our fleeting analogue memory.
:08:18. > :08:23.LJ Rich. This idea of logging the world from your point of view has
:08:23. > :08:26.been around for a little while, but it might just catch on now the
:08:26. > :08:31.technology is small enough to be worn. The question is, is it
:08:31. > :08:36.something you would do? Is it something you would mind being done
:08:36. > :08:44.to you? Let us know. You can e-mail or us send us a lin
:08:44. > :08:51.took a video -- link to a video you have made. Fairtrade officials in
:08:51. > :09:00.Taiwan are investigating reports that Samsung hired students to post
:09:00. > :09:04.negative comments about HTC. The Facebook paing de scribed it as --
:09:04. > :09:10.page described it as unfortunate. Twitter has unveiled a new app
:09:10. > :09:17.called hash music - what else? It analyses Tweets and finds songs by
:09:17. > :09:24.artists you follow. It will be launched for Apple and PCs for US,
:09:24. > :09:31.UK, Ireland. It is by iTunes or you can stream
:09:31. > :09:34.them by a Spotify or RDIO account. Project Glass - it is being
:09:34. > :09:44.developed for release later this year thaifplt will not be able to
:09:44. > :09:49.charge for or serve up adverts T voice-activated wear will not come
:09:49. > :09:56.with ear phones, but a bone conducktion transducer will deliver
:09:56. > :10:03.it through the user's cheekbones into the user's ear.
:10:03. > :10:06.It will take 720p Hd video. The feature which allows you to
:10:06. > :10:13.continue to chat to friends while enjoying Facebook has been
:10:13. > :10:17.available on Android for a few weeks. Due to software restrictions
:10:17. > :10:25.the IOS will not let you take your chatting heads out of Facebook
:10:25. > :10:29.itself. E reader maker Kobo has launched a
:10:29. > :10:39.high-definition display. It boosts a higher resolution and is geared
:10:39. > :10:41.
:10:41. > :10:46.towards magazine readers. It will offer crisper pictures. Finally,
:10:47. > :10:51.Leap Motion is making a landmark jump for gesture control on
:10:51. > :10:56.computers. It has announced a deal to embed the technology on machines
:10:56. > :11:03.made by HP. It is a stand-alone controller, able to dedetective all
:11:03. > :11:07.of your ten fingers' movements at once, allowing for gesture controls.
:11:07. > :11:11.Now, there's always a tonne of stuff happening online and in the
:11:11. > :11:21.tech world in general. Kit be a struggle to keep on top of it all.
:11:21. > :11:31.
:11:31. > :11:34.That is why we thought we would Take Google Streetview and mash it
:11:34. > :11:40.up with a particular photographic technique, and this is what you get,
:11:40. > :11:44.it is basically a time-lapse technique and usually bogus on a
:11:44. > :11:51.point of interest. This particular one has been created using a
:11:51. > :11:57.JavaScript programming language at a creative out... A creative outlet
:11:57. > :12:01.based in Canada, using Google Streetview as their material. This
:12:01. > :12:06.is usually a painstaking process taking a lot of precision and many
:12:06. > :12:10.hours of stitching images together. But by using street view, the crew
:12:10. > :12:19.has developed an easy-to-use interface and engine which means
:12:19. > :12:22.now any of this kind creates our own. It is quite stunning, to boot.
:12:22. > :12:32.Fantastic stuff. If you have seen anything you think we should share
:12:32. > :12:36.with the rest of the world, then e- mail it to us.
:12:36. > :12:40.Every year in technology promises to be important in one way or
:12:40. > :12:43.another, and we said back in January that 2013 could well be the
:12:43. > :12:49.year when the idea of the internet of things finally starts to gain
:12:49. > :12:52.ground. This is the concept that household objects can go online and
:12:52. > :12:56.get hold of us. There are many possibilities, including opening
:12:57. > :13:04.the door. We have been finding out whether home automation is finally
:13:04. > :13:08.coming online. It was almost inevitable right from
:13:08. > :13:12.the start. Movies, comic strips and novels have predicted it forever.
:13:12. > :13:17.Now everyday devices that we find around the home are, one by one,
:13:17. > :13:23.becoming plugged in, hooked up and often fully automated. Even the
:13:23. > :13:26.potted plant in the corner wants to get in on the action. It's a
:13:26. > :13:29.Bluetooth, smart, low-energy plant sensor. What it does, it senses
:13:29. > :13:32.four different areas within the garden, whether indoors or outdoors.
:13:32. > :13:37.It senses sunlight, senses temperature, moisture in the soil,
:13:37. > :13:41.as well as fertilizer in the soil. And it will take a reading of those
:13:41. > :13:49.four sensors every 15 minutes and it will send via Bluetooth low
:13:49. > :13:53.energy back to your smart device, tablet or smartphone, etc. Green
:13:53. > :13:56.thumbs are no longer needed, because the readings can be used in
:13:56. > :14:00.conjunction with a database of 6,000 common plants to ensure yours
:14:00. > :14:06.receives the best treatment. But how do we know this sort of device
:14:06. > :14:08.will become part of our everyday lives? After all, people have been
:14:08. > :14:15.talking about and demonstrating would-be connected products in the
:14:15. > :14:18.living room, kitchen and elsewhere for decades. There's one object at
:14:18. > :14:22.the centre of this new mini revolution in home automation,
:14:22. > :14:25.which means that this time around the concept is more likely to stick
:14:25. > :14:30.around. That object - the smartphone! Ideally suited to
:14:30. > :14:32.bridging the gap between humans and the appliances. Take the ordinary
:14:32. > :14:38.household bulb. Increasingly, they can be
:14:38. > :14:41.controlled from the comfort of your armchair.
:14:41. > :14:43.The Bluetooth lightbulb is great because there are billions of
:14:43. > :14:48.smartphones out there with Bluetooth built in, that are
:14:48. > :14:52.capable of controlling the light bulb. You can have multiple light
:14:52. > :14:55.bulbs in your house and multiple users of the bulbs and they can all
:14:55. > :15:01.control the light bulbs from their phones - dimming it, changing its
:15:01. > :15:04.colour. The great thing is it's built into everybody's phone. It
:15:04. > :15:10.doesn't require anything special - other than the lightbulb, you plug
:15:10. > :15:13.it in, connect it and off you go. Bluetooth is not the only method of
:15:13. > :15:19.communication that gadgets can use. Z-Wave technology can blanket an
:15:19. > :15:22.entire home with Radio Frequency signals.
:15:22. > :15:25.So the ability to control lights, appliances locks - basically
:15:25. > :15:31.anything that you would normally handle individually in your home -
:15:31. > :15:35.can be controlled by Z-Wave. And the technology is very strong
:15:35. > :15:39.because it's a mesh network and the more devices you have in the home,
:15:39. > :15:43.the stronger the mesh. Z-wave is an improvement on the
:15:43. > :15:46.older X10 system, which can be slower and more unstable. But one
:15:46. > :15:49.drawback of the Z-Wave experience is that its gadgets are not
:15:49. > :15:58.internationally compatible because the RF frequency used by the system
:15:58. > :16:02.differs slightly around the world. That's one of the reasons why a Wi-
:16:02. > :16:05.Fi route might be a better option. Belkin International thinks so. It
:16:05. > :16:09.has developed a whole line of products under the brand WeMo,
:16:09. > :16:15.including a power socket that can be manipulated remotely to turn on
:16:15. > :16:18.or off any electronic device plugged into it. There's also a
:16:19. > :16:24.baby monitor that can be heard by mummy across the hall, or daddy
:16:24. > :16:28.across the globe. Wi-Fi is in most households today
:16:28. > :16:32.and so the user experience with Wi- Fi is really simple - you plug it
:16:32. > :16:36.in, you hook it up to the network and you're good. You don't have to
:16:36. > :16:39.do anything more, you don't have to install a bridge product, you don't
:16:39. > :16:42.have to have another product talking to that bridge product and
:16:42. > :16:46.the bridge product talking to the Internet. We just plug our products
:16:46. > :16:49.in and two minutes later the product is working on the Internet
:16:49. > :16:52.on your home network. With all these Wi-Fi items in the
:16:52. > :16:54.house, you might start to worry about bandwidth. Don't worry, says
:16:54. > :17:01.Matt Rogers, the co-creator of the self-learning, always connected
:17:01. > :17:03.Nest thermostat. So most of these products don't use a lot of
:17:03. > :17:05.bandwidth.They can be very infrequently, you know, bytes at a
:17:05. > :17:08.time. It's not like megabytes, it's
:17:09. > :17:12.nowhere near streaming video. If you can stream video at home, you
:17:12. > :17:15.can use any of these products. But whilst your home network might
:17:15. > :17:19.be able to cope easily with the extra data traffic whilst its up
:17:19. > :17:22.and running, what happens if your network goes down completely? Maybe
:17:22. > :17:31.controlling your entire home full of gadgets from afar suddenly seems
:17:31. > :17:36.Ian Hardy bringing us back down to earth with that final thought.
:17:36. > :17:46.Next up, it is time for the buried best bits of the web and the top
:17:46. > :17:50.
:17:50. > :17:54.mobile apps of the week. Here's On the 25th of April, there will be
:17:54. > :17:59.a partial lunar eclipse visible in parts of Europe, Africa, Asia and
:17:59. > :18:03.Australia. It won't be as dramatic as a full eclipse - only about 2%
:18:03. > :18:06.of the Moon will pass to the shadow of the earth. You can find out more
:18:06. > :18:10.at Moongiant. A fascinating resource for anyone interested in
:18:10. > :18:14.Moon activity. There'll be information about lunar eclipses
:18:14. > :18:24.and a map on the homepage shows the position of the Moon at any point
:18:24. > :18:33.
:18:33. > :18:37.If it is too cloudy where you are to see the eclipse, you can always
:18:37. > :18:41.try searching for clips of the event online. Google has released a
:18:41. > :18:51.nice site that shows you how the web has become searchable, so that
:18:51. > :18:56.
:18:56. > :19:06.One thing Google is not short of are blogs. Blogs about cats, blogs
:19:06. > :19:06.
:19:06. > :19:09.about boats, there are even blogs Tumblr is one of the most popular
:19:09. > :19:16.platforms. It hosts 90 million blogs, which generate millions of
:19:16. > :19:22.new pages every day. No matter how brilliant those pages are, many
:19:22. > :19:25.tens of thousands of them will never be read.
:19:25. > :19:34.That is something Glipho wants to fix, with a social platform
:19:34. > :19:36.Along with an internal network, it has integration with all the
:19:36. > :19:46.leading social networks, making sharing your content one-click
:19:46. > :19:49.
:19:49. > :19:53.simple. It is a nice interface. There is a hassle-free set-up which
:19:53. > :19:56.involves no themes or plug-ins. I have also been very impressed with
:19:57. > :20:06.how engaged the site creators are with feedback and with smartphone
